ATTENTION: Initial D Extreme Stage works globally online, but only on the Japanese version.

Initial D: Extreme Stage (ID:ES or IDES for short) is a game for the Playstation 3 developed and published by Sega and released on July 2008.

I've heard theres two versions, is this true?

Technically yes, it is. Sega released two identical versions, minus a few features, the Asian version included an English manual but no network mode, whereas the Japanese version has no English manual but has included all features, including network play.

While the list you see above are the cars in the game, Sega has confirmed that on the 24th of July, they will be releasing the RX-8, Altezza and the Mazda Roadster as downloadable add-on cars for free via the Japanese PSN store. You must have a Japanese PSN account to download the patch, but once it's installed you will be able to access the cars in-game via your US/EU accounts (if you don't use a JP account to play).

How do I download and use the DLC cars?

1.) Log into your Japanese PSN. If you don't have one, make one.2.) Add the DLC to your cart.3.) It will automatically be added to IDES. You can check this by going to PSN->Account Management->Cart->Services.4.) Load IDES in whatever PSN you use to play IDES normally.5.) When you first go into Network mode, you'll be asked if you want to apply the patch. Say yes, obviously. It will automatically be applied.6.) The next time you add a car to your garage or create a new character, you will have the three new cars available.

Yes. it is possible, go to your garage, and choose one of the last options before the green exi button (once you've highlighted the right button, your avatar should show on screen, select that and presto!)

How do you Blind Attack?

Hold down the O button until your lights turn off. It takes about five seconds. Click O again to turn your headlights back on.

Hey i have a question the car paint shop does not have any new colors it just lets you change from the original options but in a video of the japanese arcade there was a green ae86 but that is not a color that you can paint the car is there any way to get more paint i really want a black s13 silvia

yes it happend to me when i was d2 a jerk of ss played against me and i didn´t notice because he let me to choose first until it the race i saw the big aura and the ss ramk so i end up loosing and form d2 i was downgrade to d3 but if you win the next race you obtain again your rank,but if you loose again your bar lowers down

isn't it totally random when they pair you up with someone in rank mode? The rank SS probably didn't know you were a d3 or w/e. Besides, I played against a ss rank (when I was a rank d2) who had 170+ wins and 1 lose: not fun AT ALL. I think the matching/pairing of players in ranked mode needs to be fixed, that's quite a gap if you know what I mean

wait, but I thought you can't lower your bar until your at least a C3even if u lose in any D level, you still gain your bar
